Mistletoe warning after council suggests residents use it on their presents despite it being poisonous
A council's recycling advice to use brown paper and mistletoe to tie up presents has been questioned as the popular Christmas plant can be poisonous.
Under the headline ‘A Bow on Top’ it says: “While bows can look pretty they can’t be recycled. Please removed them before you recycle cards and gift wrap and save them for next year if you can.“If you want to decorate presents,why not go natural and use brown string and sprigs of mistletoe?” The pensioner contacted her Livesey with Pleasington Conservative councillor Paul Marrow. He has written to Blackburn with Darwen Council legal boss Asad Laher.
“My resident was concerned as to why the council is encouraging residents to decorate their presents with a toxic plant and the risk it would present of poisoning if young children or toddlers were to eat the mistletoe berries or leaves from the wrapping of their or family presents .
